Don’t worry. Bezos will make sure they don’t report stuff like this anymore.

In summary: AI rots critical thinking, hallucinates, is shaped by the hyper-wealthy pedos that own it, its data centres guzzle water we can't spare, it will help lay off millions, we can't trust photos anymore & it keeps recommending nuclear war. But yeah, nice memes, dipshits!!
Not if you intend to take over a country.
“Remember what I said…” Yeah. About that. It’s almost impressive how confidently wrong that prediction aged.
twitter screengrab: Donald J. Trump 11.11.13 Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!
Sooo you’re impeaching Trump finally?

Public Service Announcement: The U.S. government is demanding that an AI company loosen its safety protocols so its technology can be used for mass surveillance of U.S. civilians. That is the core dispute now unfolding between the Department of Defense
The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead.
Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.
DHS is only now admitting that one of their agents shot and killed 23-year-old Ruben Ray Martinez, a U.S. citizen, last March.
Another day, another DHS lie exposed. Congress must rein in this abusive, lawless agency.
WOW! As of this morning only about 350 letters had been sent out urging our Delegates to hold data centers accountable and lower our energy costs. BUT after we blasted this call to action, we hit our goal of sending over 1,000 letters to our Delegates. Keep going!

ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, monthslong expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.
Uh not going to South Carolina anytime soon.
This is catching on. There’s nothing Trump hates more than being ignored.
Shut it all down and impeach Trump. You have been in your role too long to not serve your community and country with what you know to be right. Do the right thing.
Impeach him now!
